first sale for long time at that

that bad.
MosT of our readers are aware
ere this that we are "soft on scalde d
cream" as it has on several occa-
sions been admitted. Mrs. Henry
Harris, of Cobb, seemed 20 be aware
of the fact at least, as last week she
presented to us large bowl of as
delicious cream as ever graced a
table. Her kindness is fully appre
ciated, and It's hoped she will al
ways partake of the cream of this
life.
Now, HAVING given thanks for
another years blessings, let us all
set ourselves diligently at work to
deserve even greater blessings for
the year to come. Much depends
upon ourselves and our own con
duct. "The Lord helps those who
help themselves" but there are those
who neither try to help themselves
nor to deserve the help of God or
their felowmen. These are the
worlds unfortunates the happy-go-
lucky ones, who are always unluoky
and unhappy.

THE members of the w. c. Z. U.
are rejoicing over the fruits of Rich
mond's address. An intelligent
looking commercial traveller, who
listened to the address spoken of
above, told one of our citizens that
while he had lisened to Cough,
Murphy and Manzother-popular
speakers on the subject of temper
ance-he had never before heard so
clear, logical and forcible q presen-
tahon of the theme of what TO do
with the saloon; and as an express
sion Of his appreciation desired said
citizen to say to Mr.. Richmond that
while be had been in the habit Of
occasionally taking glass Of liquor,
from this time on he should cease
that habit, and do nothing that
would in any way give aid or bene-
fit to the saloon.
The annual meeting of the South
western Wis. Industrial A ssociation,
held Saturday was well attended.
Upon proceeding to tie election of
